Between 14 - 18 of November, the UN Verification Mission in Colombia was in the town of Agua Bonita in La Montañita, department of Caquetá, southern Colombia, for the festival “Agua Bonita is painted in colours in the hands of peace and reconciliation”.

The event brought together members of the community, former combatants, institutions and delegations of artists from different parts of the country. More than 400 participants took part in cultural and academic activities and contributed to the creation of murals themed around reconciliation and commitment to Peace. 

For the past five years, the United Nations Verification Mission has been accompanying and supporting this initiative that promotes culture and environmental preservation as part of the peacebuilding process in the territories.
